Strides RewardsTEAM CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
In October 2014, Team Chocolate Chip Cookies had their first walk together to continue the fight against breast cancer in honor of our friend and co-worker, Kathy Ruch, who -at that time- was fighting another battle of this dreadful disease after decades of remission. The morning of that walk was sunny and beautiful with events that included an opening ceremony, photo booth fun, survivor recognition for Kathy, refreshments, lunch and wonderful fellowship with family and friends. We had such a wonderful time together! Kathy even made sure that everyone who participatedreceived her famous chocolate chip cookies. Kathy was humbled by the support and wasexcited to do the walk again the following year. Sadly,Kathy didn't make it to the next walk. In 2015, Kathy endured many trials and lost her fight. She is truly missed by all who knew and loved her. She was a gem; she kept us on our toes, cared for us all, could laugh and cry in an instant, and was an amazing baker, friend and caregiver. Please consider joining our team at our annual walk this year to celebrate the life and love of our Kathy AND to honor or remember one of your loved ones so that we may continue the fight against this disease. You may join our team or make a donation on our team website http://main.acsevents.org/goto/teamchocolatechipcookies. All donations will be matched. You can also find our team on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/993193367476168/. Thank you in advance for your support! * Lord... we ask for your continued comfort those who are struggling with breast cancer, for healing and hope for all people who are sick and suffering, for strength to the insecure and weak, for nourishment to those that are hungry and for your light to shine in us all. In your name we humbly pray, Amen. *

Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.
Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.
As of January 2022, we have invested $71 M for potentially lifesaving breast cancer specific research grants.
We have received over 250,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2021
Cancer patients benefited from ACS transportation support through our Road TO Recovery program and transportation grants in 2021, with nearly 229,000 rides provided.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against breast cancer.

Strides RewardsThis isn’t what I wanted.
Welcome to our Team Page. We've formed a team because this cause is important to us. We want to help. And walking and raising money in our local American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event is the best way we can do that. We all have different reasons for participating but we share a determination to help save lives from breast cancer.
There are so many ways that the money our team raises helps. It’s helping fund innovative research. It's providing free information for people dealing with the disease. It’s providing rides to treatment and places to stay for people who have to seek treatment far from home. In short, our money is helping save lives. Consider donating to our team and helping advance the cause.
How We Support the American Cancer Society
Of course we walk in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. And we solicit donations from family, friends, and other supporters. But we also schedule fundraisers in lead-up to the big event. Bake-sales, car washes, and countless other types of events. And we promote those on social media, through Facebook and Twitter, by word of mouth, and through flyers at work and around the neighborhood. The success of fundraising events depends on two things - hard work and getting the word out. And we're out to do both. Keep an eye out for our fundraising events.
